Thousands of teachers postpone strikes in days thanks to new pay offer
PLANNED walkouts by thousands of teachers in Wales have been postponed after schools were thrown into chaos.1The teachers in Wales have been offered a salary increase of 1.5 per cent and a one-off cash bonus equivalent to a further 1.5 per cent of their salary.The walkout next Tuesday has been rescheduled to March 2.
This comes after teachers previously rejected an offer from the Welsh Government for a 5 per cent increase in November.: “The willingness of the Welsh Government to engage in talks with us about the current pay dispute is in stark contrast to the position taken by Westminster and the Secretary of State for Education Gillian Keegan.
"We have now had a series of discussions in Wales where the focus has been on resolving the dispute, resulting in the current offer of an additional consolidated award of 1.5 per cent this year, plus a non-consolidated lump sum of 1.5 per cent. “Whilst the offer remains significantly below our members' demands, and does not begin to address the real terms cuts visited upon teachers since 2010, the Union will consult with our branches and workplace representatives to secure the views of members in Wales.Most read in The Sun
